  Grandma respects your wishes. Maybe try not being a disingenuous prick and accept kindness and gifts when offered.

  Tbf in some cultures its rude not to initially decline and say, “no its too much”, or imply your not worthy of that much.

    That is vanity disguised as manners. It is one thing to show respect to present company. But to teach people that “no” means “make me take it”… that is a dangerous game.

      Yes, but the problem is that it’s ingrained in culture, and most people are raised with that attitude, so if you raise your kid to act differently, you’re setting them up to be rude in the perception of others.

  It truly is a pity to see people continuing to support content that ultimately goes back to a known transphobe.

    So, you just expect everyone to know what you do.
    You don’t provide context or share information.
    Then you instead blame others.

    Great comment. 10/10 👏👏👏

    Like it or not, Harry Potter was massive. Popular things get memed. Popular people (actually, people in general) all suck in some way. Your favorite movie? Directed by a pedophile. Favorite show? Several racist cast members. Favorite book? Transphobe. This is just what humanity is. Enjoy the memes, ignore them, or continue shouting into the void. This will never stop happening though.
